                  They're about 30% less expensive than a comparably equipped EV, and they can do actual truck stuff like tow a trailer or carry a payload. No, they're not cheap, but they are less expensive while being more useful.

                    I'm not denying any of that. But, every new generation of vehicle is better than the last and that will continue. I'm no fan of battery powered vehicles but, it seems inevitable and railing against it isn't going to change that.

                      Let the consumer decide the change not the government forcing a change on you . It will happen but again when you get the government involved in a change it is costly .

                          Just because you don't want it to happen, doesn't mean a lot of other people don't want it to happen. Nobody is forcing people to buy battery powered vehicles. The only thing the government is doing is giving a little incentive for someone to buy one.

                            California BANNING THE SALE of gas powered cars by the year 2035 is not forcing you . Henry Ford got the consumer to switch from horse and buggy not by forcing you to buy cars but by making it affordable and convenient .

                              Yes, incentivizing a technology that even you admit is not ready for prime time, using our tax dollars. If the market demands it, it will sell on its own and should not need tax funded incentives to do so.

                                How is it any different than governments subsidies towards the oil and gas industry?
